Former #astronaut says it’s “extremely important” to study #artificialgravity
"CAM" was the Centrifuge Accommodations Module, originally built by the Japanese space agency. It was intended to provide an environment for artificial #gravity experiments, from just slightly above zero gravity all the way to 2 gs. However, #NASA canceled the final development and launch of the centrifuge module in 2005 due to budgetary concerns.

Ruminating on #ArtificialGravity in #ScienceFiction this morning. What happens if you have true artificial gravity in your spacecraft (not just spinning the ship fast enough to stick everything to the hull) and you don't also have a means to contain the gravity field? Would an incorrectly positioned space ship destabilize the orbits of a planet's moons and satellites?
